spatterware
Dotted pottery style
Spatterware is a type of ceramic pottery decorated by spattering or sponging colored pigment onto the surface, creating a mottled or speckled effect.
Popular in the 19th century, especially in American and British folk pottery, pieces often feature the spattered background surrounding a central design like a rooster or tulip.
The antique dealer had a nice collection of blue spatterware.
